Justin Marozzi travelled extensively to write this fascinating combination of history and travelogue, offering a unique perspective on the life of this enigmatic figure. Born into humble beginnings, Tamerlane rose to become one of the world's greatest conquerors, blazing through Asia in the 14th century. His campaigns were marked by brutality and destruction, leaving cities in ruins and claiming thousands of lives.
